Budget funding
Although you can plan your budget using either top-down or bottom-up methods, the flow of actual money travels down the linked plan, program, project hierarchy. Regardless of how you plan your expenses, plans fund programs, which fund projects, which in turn fund any child or subprojects.
For more information about budget planning, see

.
Since stand-alone programs and projects are not linked to plans, they have their own budgets which you enter directly on their respective budget tabs.
